Phone calls can be too direct, emails too cold but embarrassing cakes—those will get the job done! In other words, if you don’t know how to say it, bake a cake—and write your disagreeable message on it.

Some just have stupid spelling mistakes, but others? Let’s just say “Syphilis Blows” isn’t anyone’s idea of a good birthday message. The most disturbing out of these embarrassing cakes, however, is the ‘Miscarriage Cake’. Seriously?
